Gingerbread Popcorn!
I’m sure I’ve mentioned my family popcorn addiction in the past so this festive gingerbread version is going down a storm here!
Day 2 – Gingerbread Reindeer Barns
How much fun are these? When Lindt sent me a chocolate delivery (yes I know, that’s a great delivery to get) I knew I had to come up with something Christmassy – there was no way I was melting those Reindeer down for truffles!
Cranberry Apple Loaf & Choc Nut Roll
Two more lovely #GBBO inspired recipes for you this week – all the fun without any of the pressure from the judges 😉
Cranberry & Apple Loaf spiked with ginger
and a much easier Chocolate Nut Roll recipe!
Day 4 – Gingerbread Sleighs & Giant Men!
Two different projects for Day 4 of The Pink Whisk 12 Days of Christmas – Giant Gingerbread Men and Sleigh’s too – all using a fab Gingerbread Dough
Time to get cracking!
Giant Gingerbread Man
So how about a Giant Gingerbread Man? These seem to be everywhere this Christmas and with a price tag of £5-6.00 I thought for Day 4 of The Pink Whisk Christmas we’d make our own!
Gingerbread Sleighs
A Gingerbread Sleigh – filled with a Chocolate Father Christmas and Snowballs!
My plan was to make these for the boys for Christmas, but having made only 2 and there being 3 of them these are off to the school Christmas fair instead!
Gingerbread
Gingerbread dough is always lots of fun – whether you want to make biscuits, men or even a Gingerbread house then a good dough recipe is the place to start. The resting of the dough and chilling is an important step for the very best in gingery spiced flavoured biscuits so try not to miss it out if you can.
Halloween Ginger Biscuits
One for the kids to help with, my boys never seem to tire of this old school baking idea and will put mini Halloween cutters to good use!

1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
1/2 tsp bicarbonate of soda

150g golden syrup
1 x pkt clear boiled fruit sweets

Carrot Cake
A traditional cake but still one of my favourites, it’s good for feeding the masses too!
Ingredients:
225ml sunflower oil
3 eggs, large
120g golden syrup
150g soft light brown sugar
240g self-raising flour
1½ tsp cinnamon
½ tsp allspice (if you don’t have allspice you can just leave it out!)
Mum’s Ginger Muffins
You can always rely on Mums! Mums mind children when you’re flat out, Mums give you a hug when you’re adamant you can’t possibly do one more thing….and Mums make great Ginger Muffins coated in sticky lemon icing! They also write it up for all The Pink Whiskers too!
